It is curious to see tlest while the Cabinet of Austria - giyee assurance;, and declares that it has a. good emderkanding with France, and while France . pehliahee. the same as a suranees—it is curious, we sey,,te see than thiseite triguing faCtion, which lives by, stock, jobbing, ea e • lumnies, and libels, continues to ..cliSeeminate dise quietude among peaceable people. ..... The. affairs of Spain are irrevocably fixed and acknowledged by the Great Powers of the Centinept. . "Tf we have been deceived in the hope of Concluding that people to a better order of things without disa turbance, without disorder, without war, it is a • vialory which the genies 'of evil has gained over the spirit of good. It will, however, in the end be only fatal to England and her partisans. These truths are evident, and there is not a man of sense in London who is not convinced of them. ' lArhet can we think pf the , policy and reason of that.',Cabinet, .which, having excited Sweden against Russia, expeeted to support her by an expedition of 'aaeo men ? While it shall only be required to celumniate, to sedece, 'to. suborn, England will 'have the advantage; but the leopard, when he shall see the eagle penile him in view, will feel the land fly from under his feet, and find no refuge but on the waves, and in the element of tempests. Peace is the wish of the universe. The events . which have changed the face of the world since • the reptisre of the Peace of Amiens, are to be at tributed to the rupture of that peace. The events so unfavourable to Englande that have occurred Since the:death of Fox, are to, be attributed to his death, . and the inptere of the negotiations. The changes that have taken place in Eueope since the peace of Tilsit, are to be attributed to the refusal of the me= diction of Bessie. What .may yet happen on the Contiiieet contrary to the greatness and interest of England, if peace does. not take place, will' be tie be attributed'to that fodlish obstinacy, to. that blind . and ' furious policy, which, notwithstanding the union of great powers, places all its hopes in dreams of, an 'impossible diiision, :and a 'renewal of coalitioni, which can only exist against - fiee.elf: We ma ' here justly apply the maxim of Cicero, " that the most political conduct is , that which is Most cenformable to justice." - The continuation of the Pgace of Amiens would have left Europe in the state in which it Was • the' Peace which' Foie wished would have prevent ed the ruin - of Prusiia; and the occispatipn of the cities of the North. 'The actept ance of the Mediation of Russia would have prevented the preseot state of affairs in the Balticand in Spain; and if peace is not made within the year, who can foretel the events contrary to the interests of Enge land which` may occur before the year ela'pses. - A Letter from Amsterdam, of the dateat the 28th of July, announces the arrival - at Vienna of an Entlish IVlinister,•who is supposed to be Mr. Adair.' at is said betas receiVed'a flat tering reception Irons Count Stadion, and, that he has had'se *eral conferences with that Minister, and,with the Russian Minister, Prince ISurakin.
